Abstract:
A system, apparatus, and method for determining intact versus fractured rock zones based on performance monitoring of an electric drilling machine when drilling a blasthole. The determination can be based on a calculation of compensated blastability index (“CBI”) values using transformed performance monitoring data collected in real-time as the drilling machine drills the blasthole.
